Be a women of self control!

LADIES: The greatest gif, after love, that will keep you in your single hood is self-control. So many of the times we have said things like “he came unto me, or forced me to sleep with him “ and the truth of the matter is that you are always in control, until you don’t want to be. In no way I am saying a man is not right by wanting to sleep with you, nor am I ignoring the fact that there are some men who force themselves onto woman, actions that I totally condone.

But I am sure by now we are on the same page and you understand exactly in what context I am speaking. I have learned that the greatest person you must know is yourself, and when you know yourself, you will know what buttons someone has to press to get what they want out of you and the kind of situation /set ups that push you to compromise on standards that you have set for yourselves. I really do believe that we must come to maturity where we don’t put ourselves in a situation where will be tempt. We can no longer use term such as satan tempted me, that is not good enough of an excuse anymore.

For instance you know that if I guy ask you to come over to his place/room at 11 pm for a movie*not always making an example*, there is not going to be too much movie watching there, then why go when you know what that led to the last time he asked you to come over for a movie. It is such situations that you can avoid. Now there are men, who by grace, have mastered self-control, whom you can be around and know that you are so secure. On the contrary there are those guys whom when you are around you know that there will be mischief and it is fun, but always know that temporary satisfaction always has long term results.

In essence I am saying that we must mature now, move passed  they stage of just doing things cause it’s fun, because the truth of the matter , is that the things we did/do as fun, are the things that take the longest to overcome. Like I always say marriage will not solve what you never allowed God to change while you are single.

I used to always make the most perverted remarks every time I saw  a handsome guy walk passed me, and it became such a habit what, till  I said within, began to come out, and it was not attractive. Till God rebuked me and said that what you are doing now will become a habit that you will carry on doing even when you are married. Now I look, it’s only natural too, but never comments, only because I had to train myself daily to be disciplined in this area. That is what we should be doing as single ladies allowing God, through is word, to mature the immature areas in our lives.

LADIES, Yield to God the Holy Sprit, let him break you, make you, then shape you into the pearl and vessel of honour that he crated you to be. You are so precious, full of God divine purpose. You are royalty, you matter to God. If no one has ever told you this , then I am telling YOU are beautiful, amazing ,fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God.

Ladies and the men that love them:Its about Remaining in Gods presence.”

Ladies...and Gentlemen: Adam was in God’s presence first and delighted himself in the Lord, for in Gods presence was all that Adam needed. Note it was God who said it’s not good for a man to be alone. Adam was so immersed in God that he didn’t even see a need for a companion.

As woman and men, I have seen that in our persuit for love, we tend to look for partners that will best meet our financial needs or partners whose features that will complement our egos. But with time all that vanishes. With time, he will get older, have grey hair. With time men, that figure, will become rounder, after giving birth to your children. Those legs will get less firm, and its then that you will realize, that love goes deeper than physical attraction.

I know in any relationship financial security is important, but more importantly than that is finding a woman . or man who loves Gods presence. Ladies do not go for him, because he drives a flashy car. MEN don’t be fooled by her good looks, her curvaceous body, those fade in time, but find in her woman who will love Gods presence, for in it are all things.

A woman who can download Gods heart for you is the key to your success. For she will always go before his throne on your behalf and always ensure that you are walking in Gods perfect will.

Woman desire a man who loves the presence of God, more than wanting to impress you with his many cars, desire a man who although he is one of the most powerful business men, but before God he can be  naked, weep and lay himself down as child before his father’s  feet. I really do believe that God is raising a caliber of dynamic young woman and men, who will walk in Kingdom wealth and when asked what they secret is, they will say : “ Remaining  in Gods presence.”

5 WAYS TO BRING YOUR VISION TO FRUITION!

1. Fine Tune Your Focus.
Your level of focus has everything to do with stagnation or progression in life. Don’t take detours to destruction, via distractions. Vision gives you clear direction to avoid detours and distractions altogether…stay focused. When you’re focused, you can still have clear vision on a cloudy day. This is your time to focus, plan, and execute your vision to perfection…great opportunities await!

2. Be Blind To The Past.
You know you’re making progression, when everything around you is trying to stop you from moving to the next level. Sometimes it’s the past that tries to creep into your mindset to thwart your progress. In spite of it all, you’ve got to blast past your past. Philippians 3:13 reminds us to “forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead.” The past is a prison, but the future is freedom. Begin to breakthrough and walk in freedom, by presently breaking away from your past. Donʼt beat yourself up over something you canʼt change. Itʼs over…get up and
move your life forward!

3. Look Forward, Move Forward.
Your feet will generally take you to the destination where your eyes are focusing. You can’t go through life looking and walking backward or you’ll crash into your past. In order to look forward, you’re going to have to stop looking around and behind you. God’s got your back, so goodness and mercy are always following you. When your will and your soul is locked into progressing toward the goal, you can’t lose. Remind yourself that the best and blessed is yet to come…think forward, look forward, and move forward.

4. 3-D Vision.
Recognize that you are Distinct, Distinguished, and Destined to overcome the odds. Begin to see beyond what you see. Begin to see beyond your circumstance. Start walking by faith, not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7). When you walk by faith, you transition from natural sight to supernatural vision. Start surrounding yourself with people who have vision, because they can see in you what you don’t see in yourself. How can the blind lead the blind? People with no vision want you to be blind like them. Connect to people who have vision! Vision helps you to see life through a different lens.

5. Vision Births Provision.
When you’re passionate about your purpose, it will ignite your vision. First your vision gets into your heart, your head, and then into your hands to create something great! Get away from negative people who want to kill the dream and abort the vision that’s within you. You’re pregnant with purpose, promise, possibility, and potential…it’s time to push that vision to another level and deliver your destiny. Get around people who are pro your vision, because that will be a springboard to ensuring provision. Your vision will take you where God’s provision will meet you!

Ladies:Everything in its own time!!!!!!!!!

Ladies: Do not become wives before your time. While I was at varsity I was so shocked to hear of girls who would do laundry for their boyfriends, clan his room, others even went as far as doing groceries and then allowing the boyfriend to keep it in his room, because that is where she cooks supper for the both of them.. I was so shocked the one day while walking with a class mate of mine, when she said that she has to rush quickly and go make supper for her boyfriend because he likes his supper at 6pmI was like ok, maybe I AM OLD SCHOLL, BUT THTS IS JUST OUT.

The truth is this that yes there are men who have not yet awakened*if they is such, but they exist* to their responsibility as a man, and such men will abuse you, especially when they see how attached you are to them. If you insist on buying groceries and keeping them at his room, he won’t say no, he will do what he sees you enjoying doing, and he benefits as well, SO why would he say no!

Nothing and maintain nothing will put together what GOD has not ordained. You can cook him a thousand of meals, take his laundry to the best Laundromat but if God did not permit your union, it will end within a blink of an eye. Your cooking, sex, running chores, must not be done to prove that you love him. If you have to work to seal your love for each other, then it is isn’t it.

Love is so easy, it doesn’t salve away, it doesn’t have to prove itself, it doesn’t have to get approval.  It works all by itself at the right time. So young ladies, don’t try so had to be loved that you be slave to man who doesn’t not know your worth. Find a lover, Christ that will sticks by you, not by your works, but because loving you is who he is and what he delights in.

Committed to win!

The saying goes, "practice makes perfect." Is that really true, if you're practicing the wrong way? If you practice shooting free throws with an incorrect shooting form, it'slikely that you’ll miss the majority of your shots. You will just become good at shooting the wrong way.

 

What are you shooting towards? What is your aim in life? Are you missing the mark or are you hitting the bulls eye? We must discipline ourselves and even do what is uncomfortable, to develop good fundamentals and perfect our lives.

 

Practice doesn't make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect.The same rules apply to life. In order to attain victory and cross the finish line of our vision it takes focus, consistency, determination, faith, and self-motivation. It's going to take discipline and commitment to perfect the ability, that you already possess within.

 

We must become comfortable with being uncomfortable and become uncomfortable with being comfortable.Nothing worth working for will always come easy, but the rewards come by stepping out on faith and taking a risk. Our tomorrows will NOT be brighter until our today's become better. We must tap into the power of self improvement and actualize our potential.

 

Nothing can ever defeat a committed will to win! Throughout the course of a day, how much time do you waste thinking negative? We must rid our minds of "stinking thinking." Your life is a by product of your thoughts. If you want to change your direction, change your thinking.

 

Expand your mind and expand your life. You can't live any better than your mindset. You can never live beyond or above what you’re thinking about. Your mind is designed to raise you above your circumstance, not bring you below it.

 

How much time will you waste this week, thinking and speaking negative? If you keep doing things the same way you've been doing them, I guarantee youʼll get the same results. Think differently, live differently, and your situation will turn out differently.

 

A committed mind and an undying will to overcome, amidst the obstacles, will always emerge triumphant. Be committed to WIN in life! Be committed to unlocking the greatness in YOU!

The Power of Righteousness

I believe that the one thing holding more Christians in bondage than anything else is a lack of knowledge of righteousness. Unfortunately over the years we have developed some religious words and ideas that we place one meaning on at church and entirely some other meaning on in our daily lives. Righteousness is one of these. Gods plan for redemption would be no value to sinful men is it did not included righteousness and its mighty force. This righteousness is the key word to the revelation which the Apostle Paul received from Jesus.

As you read through this  series, I believe you will begin to understand why this is one of the most fundamental messages that are paramount to the growth of many believer, for it is the key to true liberty.

“Therefore if any person is in Christ he is a new creation (a new creature altogether) the old (previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold the fresh and new has come. Any person who is in Christ is a new creature or a new creation.(The literal Greek says he is a new species of a being which never existed before).He has been completely recreated. Old things are passed away, all things are new, and all things are of God-no part God and part Satan. “

Some people think that a man is schizophrenic when he becomes a Christian-that he has both the nature of God and the nature of Satan-but this is not so in the new Birth, a man’s spirit is completely reborn; then it’s this man’s responsibility to renew his mind to the Word of God use the Word to take control of his body.

Ephesians 4vs 24-25: This scripture makes us understand what God made Jesus, Who knows no sin, to be sin for us to that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. As believes in Jesus Christ, we are the righteousness of God himself.

So I am sure you are asking what is to Righteousne?. Righteousness is not a goody-goody way of acting or something which can be attained .Righteousness is a free gift of God, provided by Jesus at cavalry through grace of God. Now I am not referring to out won righteousness-the bible says that in the eyes of God “all our righteousness are as filthy rags (Isaiah 64vs6).However, we have been given the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. Through our traditional thinking, we have confused righteousness with holiness. We think righteousness is the way you cat, but this is not true. Holiness is your conduct-righteousness is what and who you are, the nature of God.

Let me make this clearer for you: The word translated righteousness literally means to be in right standing. We have been put in right standing with God. Jesus is the mediator between God and man.When a man accepts Jesus, he is moved into position of new birth. He enters into the Kingdom of God as Gods very own children and a joint-hire with Jesus Christ. Consequently, there are certain privileges, certain rights, certain freedoms, that we as God because we in right standing with Him.

We didn’t get in right standing with God be being good or acting right. We got there through faith in Jesus Christ and His redemptive work at Calvary. When we accepted the sacrifice of Jesus and made him Lord of our lives, then God accepted us. He had to! You see, has already accepted Jesus worked on the cross. He judged is as good, glorified Jesus and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies. He called Jesus “God” and inaugurated Him into the highest office in the whole universe. Therefore, the father is obligated to accept us when we accept Jesus .Our conduct has absolutely nothing to do with it!

If you look at verse 19: To wit (or to know) that God was in Christ, reconciling the world into himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. In other words, God does not hold our sins and trespasses against us. Very rarely has the whole Gospel been preached-only pieces of it. We have heard that God will not forgive a sinner until he confesses his sin, but this is not true. God has already provided forgiveness and is not holding our trespasses against us. This teaching is about confession of sin stems from 1Johnvs9: If we confess our son, he is faithful to forgive us. However, this letter was written to Christians for the purpose of their maintaining fellowship with God.

The Apostle John wrote in Chapter 2verse 1, “My little children, these things I write unto you, that you don’t sin. And if man sin we have an advocate with the father .Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world. John was referring to the sin of a Christian and was instruction his fellow believers to partake of Jesus the advocate ministry.

John 3vs16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only son. God loved us and Jesus gave Himself for us while we were in sin/God is not holding our trespasses against us-He is calling is to make Jesus our Lord. He accepted us on the basis of Jesus right standing in and in turn, made us in right-standing with Him. The only son keeping anyone out of the Kingdom is the sin of rejecting Jesus and what he has provided.

As a citizen Of South Africa, you have certain rights, which are outlines in the constitution. As long as your obey the laws stated in the constitution then you are in right standing with the South Africa Government, The same thing is true in the Kingdom of God and you have everything you need in the Kingdom. There is a covenant between Jesus and God signed in the Blood of the lamb, which provided these rights for you. They are yours-no one can take these rights from you. If Jesus is your Lord, then you are in right standing with God-you have the righteousness of God (whether you partake of it or not).You have the right to every single thing which God has. This is staggering to the human mind, but nevertheless, it is true. Jesus said “Fear not little flock, for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give to you the Kingdom (Luke12vs32)

Let’s stop here for today. Please do take time to look through the scripture references and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into deeper understanding of this topic.

*This  is not all my original writing, all the information in this series  is from a book entitled: The force of Righteousness by Kenneth Copeland*

Life and death is in the power of the tongue!

A certain cleaning brand has a new series of commercials that are really powerful! Have you seen the ads where people are blindfolded and asked to describe what they smell? In each instance, they are brought to a place overflowing with garbage, dirty socks, or rotting food. But, in every case, the blindfolded test subjects have a pleasant response, saying it smells like the ocean, clean laundry, or tropical breezes.

In each of the commercials, we're promised that this wonderful product has the ability to transform the environment from disgusting to delightful; that no place is so auriferous that a few sprays of this amazing cleaner can't make it pleasant again.

Whether you believe the product claims or not, it does provide a great parallel for what you and I can experience in our lives. You see, you are likely to find yourself in places that aren't always pleasant. Maybe you're dealing with stress or conflict on the job. Maybe your home has become anything but a place of peace and rest. It doesn't have to stay that way!

You can neutralize the negative effects of what has taken place in your home and in your business by what you put into the atmosphere. You have been empowered by God to infuse His Presence, His Promises, His Provision, and His Protection into your environment. You have the power within you to change your surroundings - wherever you are - into a place of peace and prosperity... because GOD is within YOU!

In fact, you can initiate the change you want through the power of your words. Job 22:28 states that you can decree a thing and it shall be established. The power of blessing and cursing, even life and death, is in the words you speak.

 If you've struggled in your relationship with your spouse or your children, it could be directly tied to words and actions that were previously released in your home.

It's time for you to take authority with your words. Put them to work FOR you instead of against you by declaring your home and business blessed!
